Abaúj-Torna (Slovak: Abov-Turňa, German: Abaujwar-Tornau, Latin: comitatus Abaujvar-Tornensis) was an administrative county (comitatus) of the Kingdom of Hungary. Its capital was Kassa (present-day Košice). Its territory is now in eastern Slovakia and north-eastern Hungary.

Around 1910, Abaúj-Torna county shared borders with the counties Gömör-Kishont, Szepes, Sáros, Zemplén, and Borsod. The rivers Hernád and Bódva flowed through the county. Its area was 3317 km² around 1910.

The county Abaúj-Torna was a combination of the counties Abaúj and Torna. It existed in three periods in the 18th, 19th and 20th century: first from 1785 until 1790, again from 1848 until 1859, and finally from 1882 until the end of World War I.
